GUEST SESSIONS 3 - Carp Fishing on Mark Pitcher's Lake

[@NorthernCarpDiaries]

Fantastic video and a very exciting venue for the north, can only be a good thing, a superb example of a well thought out lake. Well done Mark and hope the hard work pays off when you open this year!

Looks a stunning place to fish👍

[@grahamrowland6681]

Nice video on a proper venue.

Stunning venue

[@adamellis6765]

Think it's fair to say hard work pays off, the lake and the fish have bounced back in style. Would love to fish there one day

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Looks stunning

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Awesome...

[@_-JC-_]

Maybe there is a lot of birds, ducks etc on the lake so zigs and floaters are banned for the people who are asking. There is a lot of lakes who have this rule now. The lake looks unreal now credit to you mark and the work put into it.

[@nickj1638]

Lewis when you was showing your rig and said about the northern special wafters, are they specially rolled for you, coming out soon or did you mean to say pop ups? I know the Dumbells are out. I just prefer a round bait and they also looked a bit bigger than cc Moore’s usual baits

Whats it called please 👍

[@bennicholson191]

Can I ask how come mark doesn't allow zigs or surface fishing as he does a fair bit of both on other lakes , just wondering??

[@MarkPitchers]

Ben Nicholson hi Ben, I don’t allow zigs because it’s a shallow lake, average depth 4ft, and when we allowed them before too many fish were getting foul hooked. As for no floaters, this is because I feed the fish on floating trout pellets on a weekend when no one will be fishing (fishing is Monday to Friday only). The reason for using floaters as feed is it allows me to see how the fish are feeding and check their condition, plus it also means there will be no uneaten bait on the lake bed before new anglers arrive the following week, so anglers will be “starting a fresh” so to speak. At the end of the day I’m trying to grow the carp as big as possible, so by not allowing floaters the fish never view them with caution so are a readily consumed food source.

@@MarkPitchers yeah I get that, You don't need to justify your self ,what you have created up there is nothing short of a wonderful fishery and fish safety should always come first. I guess that them hot summer days will be sat being frustrated by the cruising shadows 😂😂👊👊

[@z0mgHD]

@mark pitchers Fair enough, that all makes sense 👌 Thanks for your reply 👍

[@MarkPitchers]

The Truth_uk thanks so much for the kind words mate. Because it’s only shallow, quite a lot of water is less than 3ft deep, the fish can still be caught on the bottom even when it’s hot 😊😊

[@kieranarcher6211]

why no zigs or floaters ?

That’s a relief.. 😄

[@MrScotty81]

any fish that looks 30lb must not be removed from the water 🤭

[@MarkPitchers]

MrScotty81 yes, so I can come down to help with the weighing, and photographing, to ensure the captor gets the best photos possible.

[@MrScotty81]

Mark Pitchers my comment was aimed at the fact harry and lewis removed the fish without your assistance and was a tongue in cheek remark
